Cloud security that survives a real audit.
Deep cloud security assessments for AWS, Azure, and GCP. We map your environment against the threat models specific to your industry, then deliver remediation that holds up under Bank of Israel, ENISA, and AICPA scrutiny.
Three providers. One methodology.
Each cloud has its own primitives, but the underlying threat models are similar. We assess all three providers with depth, not just surface configuration scanning.
Amazon Web Services
The deepest AWS assessments in our practice. We’ve tested environments running production banking workloads under Bank of Israel oversight.
- IAM policy and trust relationship analysis
- S3 exposure and bucket policy review
- VPC, security group, and NACL analysis
- KMS, Secrets Manager, Parameter Store posture
- GuardDuty, Security Hub, Inspector tuning
- CloudTrail completeness and integrity
- Service control policies (SCPs) for AWS Organizations
Microsoft Azure
Including Entra ID (formerly Azure AD), where most enterprises have the largest unaddressed attack surface today.
- Entra ID conditional access and privileged identity
- Subscription and management group hierarchy
- Network security groups and Azure Firewall
- Key Vault access policies and managed identities
- Microsoft Defender for Cloud configuration
- Activity log and Sentinel rule coverage
- Azure Policy and blueprint compliance
Google Cloud Platform
Smaller install base, larger blind spots. Most GCP assessments miss IAM allUsers and allAuthenticatedUsers exposures.
- IAM bindings and service account analysis
- Organization policy constraints
- VPC service controls and perimeter design
- Cloud KMS and Secret Manager review
- Security Command Center configuration
- Cloud Audit Logs and DLP coverage
- BigQuery and storage bucket exposure
What we actually check.
A non-exhaustive list of the control families we evaluate. Each engagement is scoped to your environment, but these are the patterns we test against every time.
Identity and access management
Overly permissive IAM roles, unused privileges, root account hardening, MFA enforcement, federated identity configuration, service account permissions, cross-account trust relationships, conditional access policies.
Why it matters
IAM misconfiguration is the root cause of most cloud breaches we investigate. A single over-privileged role can compromise an entire environment.
Network architecture and segmentation
VPC/VNet design review, security group and NACL analysis, transit and peering configurations, public exposure of services, service endpoint and private link adoption, DDoS protection posture.
Why it matters
Flat networks make lateral movement trivial. Segmentation done wrong creates blind spots auditors will find before attackers do.
Data protection and encryption
At-rest and in-transit encryption verification, KMS key rotation policies and access, customer-managed key adoption, secrets management hygiene, database transparent encryption, backup encryption.
Why it matters
Regulators expect demonstrable encryption, not just “encryption is enabled.” We verify the actual key management practice, which is where most environments fall short.
Logging, monitoring, and detection
Audit log completeness and integrity, log retention compliance, SIEM ingestion coverage, alert rule quality, detection logic for cloud-native attack patterns, response runbook coverage.
Why it matters
You can’t detect what you don’t log. We’ve found environments missing critical events from CloudTrail or Activity Log that would have caught a real breach in progress.
Workload and container security
Container image scanning, registry policies, Kubernetes RBAC and network policies, admission controller configuration, runtime security tooling, serverless function permissions and exposure.
Why it matters
Workloads inherit the cloud’s security model but also create new attack surface. Kubernetes alone has 15+ critical configurations that go wrong by default.
Compliance and governance
CIS benchmark alignment, organization-level policy controls, account/subscription baselines, resource tagging compliance, configuration drift detection, evidence collection for SOC 2/ISO 27001/PCI.
Why it matters
Auditors increasingly want continuous evidence, not annual snapshots. We design the evidence collection workflow so your next audit is faster than your last.
What you receive.
A typical cloud security assessment runs 3-5 weeks depending on the size of your environment.
Executive risk report
5-10 pages. Business risk framing, top 5 critical findings, remediation roadmap, executive scorecard. Suitable for board and audit committee distribution.
Technical findings register
20-200+ findings depending on scope. Each finding includes affected resources, evidence, exploitation impact, root cause, and specific remediation guidance with code/config examples.
Hardening playbook
Reusable IaC templates (Terraform/CloudFormation/Bicep), policy-as-code examples (OPA, AWS Config rules, Azure Policy), and continuous monitoring queries. You keep these, no licensing required.
